Sachakov

A Brighton Beach proctologist was convicted last week in Brooklyn Federal court for $3.5 million of fraudulent practices involving Medicare and several private healthcare organizations.

[Boris Sachakov](/tag/boris-sachakov/) of [Colon and Rectal Care of New York in Brighton Beach](/tag/colon-and-rectal-care-of-new-york/), was arrested in October 2010 for [fraudulent medical claims in which he said he performed more procedures than any other proctologist in the nation](/brighton-butt-doc-pinched-in-medicare-probe/). However, investigators concluded he was merely billing insurance companies for no treatment at all – and, in some cases, [totally implausible claims](/boris-sachakov-colon-and-rectal-care-proctologist-brighton-beach-fraud/) such as charging more than $60,000 for 85 hemorrhoidectomies on a single patient in 20 months.

According to the [New York Post](http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/brooklyn/fraud%5Fdoc%5Freal%5Fass%5FbI2BUBLp0owOJ38jpINaXI?utm%5Fmedium=rss&utm%5Fcontent=Brooklyn&ref=bklyner.com), Sachakov allegedly yelled and threatened to punch his prosecutors for pointing at him during his trial. A short hearing pertaining to this incident was held after the trail.

Sachacov faces up to 10 years in jail and a fine of $250,000\. He has now been placed in custody, where he will stay until his official sentencing.
